Actually they were mating. He didn’t understand why the other octopus died but the males die very shortly after mating and the females stop eating and due guarding the eggs and as they hatch they turn white and die. The reason why she tried to leave the tank Al of the time and got upset was because she was trying to get back to the sea to lay her eggs. The life cycle of octopus is on google that’s all he had to do was google it and he would have instantly clicked and understood their behaviour.
Sorry. There are not octopus "fighting rings". I don't think saying they were mating would have contributed to the story line as well as saying "it was an octopus fighting ring".

I absolutely adore Octopi. They are emotional brilliant creatures that can be such welcoming companions to humans. Thank you for rescuing those poor babies. Never knew there was a underground octopi fighting ring! Wild! Go Rocky, Go! Next step is to teach her how to open jars! They flip out over those! 😍🥰
Yep and now she’s going to die. Octopus stop eating and guard their eggs until they hatch and then they die. The reason why the other octopus died shortly after you separated them is because they were mating not fighting and male octopus die after mating and the reason why she was trying to leave the tank all of the time was to get back to the sea to lay her eggs.

_"He’s still making appearances, is acting semi-normal and hasn’t fully went into hiding yet."_ Well, that's good news, because we've really missed you, Doc. I hope you won't stay in hiding much longer. Oh, you meant Rocky! What a cutie, so active and clever. It must be hard for you to deal with their short lifespans.
So many questions tripping through my brain rn but the biggest one is, can’t you put a lid on the tank? I’d be afraid of stepping on her or coming home to find her half dried out cuz she couldn’t get back to her tank? I could never rest properly cuz I’d always be vigilante and worried about this tiny creature escaping all the time.
You could, but it'd need to be a reallyyyyyy good lid. An octopus can squeeze through any gap bigger than their beak, and with an octo as small as Rocky, that kind of gap might not even be noticeable to a human.-- with no lid, the octopus can get out easier, sure. But it's also easy for 'em to crawl back into the tank.
Octopi are well known escape artists. I think that’s why most owners probably give them planned time out of the tank. Even Zoos sometimes struggle to keep a curious Octopus in its tank area.
Yeah, the 2 stories I remember include: 1. the octopus that got a bad shrimp mixed in it’s meal, carried it to the other room and threw it at the scientist that fed it. 2. The octopus that memorized when the night guards walked by and snuck into the tank across the aquarium hall to get a snack. Repeatedly. Only got caught when cameras were set up to try to figure out why the tank was losing fish. A lid is nothing. They’ll cause electric shorts in the lights or something if you don’t give them proper enrichment or a triple locking set of sealing lock chambers… or not. Their ability to solve mazes is ridiculous.
Octopuses make terrible pets. They are very smart and are excellent escape artists, so keeping them in the place they need to stay alive is a huge pain that requires vigilance. They also have short lifespans.
I am wondering if the 'fight ring' was actually a mating ritual. If the other octopi died shortly after being separated and Rocky is a girl, it seems logical that the others were males. Rocky and the other octopus had physical contact. She could be carrying eggs. Maybe she sees you as a mate? Maybe she sees the toys as part of her territory? Just my thought process. No need to reply.
this is why i could never get a pet octopus, they are just so amazing and perfect and they dont live nearly long enough. i'd get too far attached and then grieve for a long time afterwards.
However short it may be. If she's preparing for brooding and no longer eating, her death spiral seems to have begun. Evidently that happens even if there are no fertilized eggs.
@@Pixelated_Moon Unfortunately, these amazing little creatures could not have long enough lifespans to appreciate their intelligence & personalities. Im still glad Rocky will get to enjoy her life and play with her boats instead of fighting for sick entertainment.
@@Tyrannosaur6265 I never knew that was even a thing. Take comfort in the joy and affection she clearly has had in rescue. And that she's taught all of us about that barbaric practice and that even these tiny octopi boast huge personalities and intelligence. Thanks for sharing Rocky's story!
Unfortunately, once she lays, her days are numbered. Honestly, 1 year is already a pretty decent lifespan for these little fellows. It's really nice to see that she's feeling so playful, though; She can at least have as much engagement as possible while she's got the time & energy. 💜
So many questions....octopus fight rings? Is it okay to leave the toys in the tank? Does an octopus have to be in the water to breathe? How long can an octopus stay out of the water? From the comments, an octopus dies after giving birth? And, I'm not even all the way through the video yet.
an octopus fighting ring? omg i already knew humans shuck balls, BUT now? they are torturing octopi? humans are terrifying.....poor baby! who are these people???????????
It could be so that the toys stay enriching- if they're in the tank all of the time, Rocky could get bored of 'em. But if they remain a novel treat, it'll be more interesting for Rocky and provide more mental stimulation for 'em. Enrichment is important when you're keeping an animal in activity, especially one as smart as an octopus.
THANK YOU for saving them - so sad that they were all injured so badly that only one survived. WTF is wrong with people - seriously! Who are the dumbfu*&s that find entertainment in animals fighting? How about they do the fighting themselves and see how it works out?
Recently Spain tried to set up a huge octopus farm breeding a couple of million a year for food. There was a petition against it. These creatures are incredibly intelligent.
Omg, I am absolutely in love I just want to try the other ones to make it😢 I have never even heard of an octopus fight ring, what the actual hell is wrong with people thank you for saving him, watching this absolutely made my morning❤❤❤
I heard once where someone with octopus, would use artificial turf or something like that to put on the edge of their aquariums because the octopus doesn't like to go over them. This was from a long time ago I believe on a video. Not sure if that works, but you should check into that. Something about they don't like that.
Exactly what he means. This world is full of sick people for who there’s no cure! If that disturbs you, do yourself a favor and don’t look up rooster fights, dog fights, and any other type of animal fighting that men can bet on, because it’s pretty disturbing 😡
I’d love a pet octopus but it’s sort of like visiting the zoo….it’s great to see all these different wild animals, but, they are WILD and should be in the wild! Just imagine if some huge thing wanted you as a pet or to be a spectacle for visitors! How would that be?! Not good! I do feel sorry for pet wild creatures but I do love to see them! I am torn!!!!
Does that mean that Rocky will die after giving birth? I thought that female octopus only live to have babies. I hope not bcuz Rocky fought hard to live I want to see him keep going
Thanks for sharing your relationship with this fabulous little creature. I can’t believe that people still eat them. It should be illegal.They more dogs, monkeys or really maybe humans.
Now that I think about it, when an aquatic animal goes out of the water for fun it's just their equivalent of us going for a swim
😊😅nice one
jerry, it's a tiny ass tank
“I think I’m gonna go for a run.” Sounds silly in my head for an octopus. 🤣
@@LoS_Lust4Blood more of a leisurely crawl
do u know how many kilometers/miles those small octopus swim per day in the wild? yea ..... a bit more than a guppy aquarium :)

Empty eggs don't hatch.
@@Me-qp8vzOctopus females can carry a males semen packet until conditions are favorable for the eggs to mature and the babies best chances of survival.
Pretty sure you have to do surgery for that to apply.
But can rocky have babies if there is no male in the tank or is she just doing what she feels is natural?
She will lay empty eggs.

Sweet Rocky ❤ Their personalities astound me. Missed ya, Doc!! Hope you're doing well!
Of all the wild stories I was expecting, "The Secret Life of Tomboy Octopus" was not one of them.
Oh no, doesn’t that mean after eggs she will pass away? 😢
My exact thought 😢
And maybe it was mating not fighting.
Yes. She will not eat. When the eggs hatch, they will ultimately eat her.
No, she might make it. Most females die from starvation because they the protect their eggs until they hatch. Squid on the other hand?………
Don't think of it as passing away, think more passing the torch
